is each other or i guess the team from that is or syria. or me while just forty kilometers north of bear is all the syrian army is steadily advancing against i still they're chasing terrorists out of the city of al my indeed considered one of islamic states long strongholds in the province and we can show you some video received from the front line. of the people. on the.

wall turkey has also launched a military operation against the terrorists it's targeting former al nusra militants in syria's northwestern province of it live the move follows turkey russia and iran reaching a deescalation deal for the water or nation last month. this order that you cut we cancel the books ever happens half moves you can either survive we have to extend her brothers now this step has been taken and that is the way we allow for the creation of a corridor or a lot border with syria. well ankara is now supporting the free syrian army against taria our sham terrorists in a mission that's being coordinated with mosco turkish troops are poised at the syrian border but have not yet crossed into the country or middle east specialist imo walkout believes there is now a tacit agreement between ankara and damascus. well the very fact that. this time around when turkish observers and troops are heading into the country and we

haven't heard from the syrian government instead this has gone into you know a further step previously when turkey went into syria for example in northern syria in general blows to drive out isis or. the syrian state did not endorse the operation on the called it in a in the fischel statement as an aggression. now adays we've heard all previous like you know one or two weeks ago we've heard the syrian foreign minister say that this is going to be like a test for turkey so this is a step for which tells you that the cooperation between the countries has taken a step forward and apparently here to what he's hoping to take it all along the way to ease the syrian crisis is out. hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of fossil owner on sunday to back spanish unity and denounce the cash line governments push for independence the rally comes amid speculation that catalonia as president may proclaim the region an independent state in the address

to the regional parliament on tuesday anastasio is in barcelona i. was he was. she was. was you see i was the region was. but the ninety percent of those who came out to vote in favor waving spain goodbye in october first also expects promises to be kept but over eight hundred people injured on the day of the referendum the question of could it all have been for nothing is now live was. it's from behind these walls of the capsule on parliament that the next big steps

for the region are expected to come from catalan leader carlos puts demond promised action towards independence within forty eight hours of official referendum results but has avoided specifics since this week all eyes will be on what happens here next. well among those who came out in support of catalonia remaining part of spain but groups of far right activists they were waving the spanish franco chanting slogans and also giving nazi salutes. to me while the spanish prime minister has given his first major interview since the independence referendum marianna hoary has vowed to take any measures necessary to prevent the region breaking away including suspending its autonomy but we gauge reaction to his comments in catalonia. we are going to prevent independence from occurring that is why i can tell you with absolute frankness that it will not happen with me about him on nobody it seems wrong to me not because he thinks so but because in a democracy the president must protect the people's right to choose. that's

a lot of i want to listen i don't want to swear right now what do i think about. the way he's implementing his policies what he's doing is aimed at causing damage to those he considers enemies he's never taken any. positive steps. our goal was to do as little damage as possible what happened was due to stubbornness and holding a referendum when they knew it was absolutely illegal it was very irresponsible of those who made that decision but over the last one the last year or more i think the government has behaved very severely and aggressively toward the kind of legitimate and democratic demands of cattle and citizens whatever way. it was senseless the kind of violence i hope i will never seen my life again because it reminded us people from all the generations of franco's times. it's a battle for europe is a battle for european values and we have to win the national populism goes against european values that are that it would appear european i don't think so because

europe should give us more support it doesn't seem to me that there is a battle going on between its governments and roy doesn't say anything that makes sense he doesn't listen he doesn't try to hold a dialogue and i don't understand why he's still in his post if he were receptive and humane person he would resign. well the council of europe has called on the spanish also artist to ensure an independent investigation into all allegations of police misconduct during the catalan referendum but spain's interior minister immediately hit back. security forces as per instructions from the judicial powers acted prudently proportionately and appropriately to guarantee respect for the law and the protection of rights and freedoms of the citizens. or to discuss this issue further let's bring in extra lopez the ball field a lawyer and law professor at the pump a u fabray university in barcelona professor thank you very much indeed for joining us well as we heard there the council of

europe's calling all madrid to private police brutality the allegations on fighting day why do you think the e.u. is refusing to make any such calls. well because the you always not interested. in talking of all human rights on the lawn and what's going on. since by the moment and they are. the show on. but i think that they would react if. his government goes forward with the repression of human rights we cannot forget. the kingdom of the spin that's more than one train beyond euros mostly european banks so by the moment european union countries are not interested displeased. and that's why. by the moment the only

improvement that we had from the consul you were up. complaining about the human rights violation. that. you were first of all before and. do you think that a lack of condemnations a condemnation from brussels could encourage more violence coming from madrid. i think that my group is not going to negotiate anything with. secessionist or at least it's not going to shed any think. that prior to their independence we can not forget. referenda was the first of all more than ninety percent of the people who participated polled or

learns and according to the referendum that got on the old girlfriend. and thence to be there for within forty eight hours for. final results are still i think it is probably that tomorrow we will have for the duration opened up in the. wall was we will see how we store into the spanish government rest. of the european union. for sure all concrete all countries all over the world involved in. movements. i don't i don't really know what the spanish government is going to do when facing up to question of davenant's but i think that we cannot go far enough human rights and i think that you know that such provision of

human rights these are not reasonable within the european union. and when he did that no professor ecto know best but feel thank you very much indeed thank you he's a less. well meanwhile u.s. president donald trump has now longer together to offer his big adversaries by accusing tehran of supporting pyongyang it comes while the u.s. is talking by the korean crisis and threatening to scrap the iran nuclear deal. believe they're funding north korea i believe they're trading with military career i believe they're doing things with korea that is totally inappropriate in terms eyes iran is teaming up with another arch enemy of the united states but hey there's no challenge that trump can't overcome i think that the president is the one that's keeping the world from chaos the truth is this coming week dahlan trump is expected to take a major step to question the game changing nuclear deal reached with tehran that's

despite the fact that iran has been playing by the rules the u.n. nuclear agency the e.u. and the trumpet ministration itself have all confirmed the country is playing ball and sticking to the agreement washington has been trying for months to confuse the matter by adding a bit of double speak we agreed on the wrong. the deal is a nuclear deal with is that even if they are in compliance technically once a violation of the nuclear rights i'm all for agreements but that was a bad line. to the spirit of their agreement they are not living up to the spirit of their agreement but that attempt left a couple of questions hanging in the air how do you determine if the spirit of a deal is being violated and is that reason enough to back out so unsurprisingly that approach wasn't quite cutting it and perhaps that's what trumps latest strategy involves adding another international troublemaker p.n. yang to the mix the aggressive rhetoric between north korea and the white house has

put the possibility of nuclear war on everyone's minds and with no solution to that in sight we are now also facing the possible consequences of dismantling the nuclear deal with the iran on friday trump met with top military officials reportedly addressing the agreement and left everyone uncomfortable with an impromptu and rather ominous message are you. going to. the world is perplexed by what that could possibly mean but we think we have a pretty good idea storm donald is already making landfall batten down the hatches . more nears after the short break. here's what people have been saying about rejected and that it was actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to lunch it was the really packed a punch at least yeah it is the john oliver of our dear mary is doing the same we

are apparently better than blue the things that i see people you've never heard of love redacted the next president of the world bank so very. seriously send us an e-mail.

they declared war on the subsequent us. now leaked f.b.i. report is sparking anda after the agency expressed concern over what it called black identity extremists the report claims that causing an increase in violence against law enforcement officials but activists insists it is just another attempt by also it is to strip the black community of its right to protest. the controversial reports comes in the wake of widespread protests by black lives matter activists in st louis and the state of missouri they took to the streets last month following the equivalent of a white officer implicated in the killing of a black motorist back in twenty eleven well police arrested over three hundred protesters over the course of eighteen days in september and october but officers

were accused of using violent tactics against the demonstrators. one officer jason struck he was charged with the first degree murder of anthony limbaugh smith the officers said he saw smith holding a gun and felt he was in imminent danger but prosecutors accuse stuckey of planting a gun in smith's car off the he shot and.

the all i was. going. well protesters have come out ever since stokely was acquitted we spoke with one of the protest organizers who accuses the police of an almost military response we are saying from the police force is a very militarized reaction we've been. we've been mazed we've seen quetta languishes when they block us and from all sides into mass arrests of one hundred to one hundred fifteen people people there have not been a part of the process that just happened to be in the area and while there have been arrested they have gotten mayes they have been sitting in jail for twenty four hours and then

a lot of times they get released without any charge against them so what we're saying is a police force that is governing how we express our first amendment rights and when they get tired and when they get upset they militarize that against the people. who mourn you. meanwhile back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines. europe has to either change or cease to exist people who work in this building you had quarters should change the rules of the european union would have to work and if you were issues both with better results should be paying more attention to

protecting external borders fighting against of curbing illegal immigration as well as harmonizing economic policies and judicial systems otherwise the europe we have today is doing would transformed into a strange loose community of twenty seven countries with nothing in common. thank you for new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington the media the media over the voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . today is the start of a new stage in took us a couple of days to get here in two jeeps each one traveling separately only one
